Explore Kingdom of smoke and cows: Dinka Cattle Camp

On this day, you will meet and greet with a representative from our company, take some juice while you receive a pre-safari briefing. Once the briefing is over, you’ll head off toward Juba’s northern direction. Given how hot it can become in South Sudan, you might expect to see some individuals going around with their chests bare – not out of choice, but due to the climate and culture. Their height and the marks on their body shouldn’t surprise you either because most cultures believe in these things.

Pause for lunch for a short while before arriving in the Dinka community in the evening. The locals will greet you with open arms. You may take in the beautiful sunset as well as the returning shepherds following a hard day of moving cattle. After dinner, pinch the camp for a good night’s sleep.

This is an opportunity to learn about the Dinka traditional way of life, explore the cattle camp, take pictures, go on community walks, and connect with the locals who are renowned herdsmen and will be eager to amuse the visitors with dance, cultural displays, storytelling, and other entertainment. Although language may be a barrier, every word is conveyed with the help of a professional.

You’ll be perplexed by the young men and women who, as a matter of cultural tradition, bear the letter “V” on their foreheads.�The day will be spent doing a village tour, learning about cattle, participating in wrestling matches, and other things. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the happenings in many civilizations throughout the world.

It’s a day to celebrate the cheers, songs, and traditional foods that make Africa truly unique. You’ll stay until dusk, at which point you’ll head back to the campsite for dinner and the night.

Early morning return to Juba, South Sudan.
